How do your routines impact others?

You’ve reached Talking with Dr Terrie – 180 seconds to a better you message number 289 snd I’m Dr Terrie Wurzbacher

I was late doing yesterday’s message and am a little later than usual today too.

I can hear your responses now “So what’s going on? How can she do that? I always listen at such and such a time.“

For the switch up I apologize. I was getting up between 2:30 and 3 so that I could make the call before most people start their day and most are an hour ahead of me.

I was doing this while trying to heal my shoulder and it began to catch up to me health wise. So yesterday I decided to sleep later but didn’t anticipate being that late. However yesterday was the best I’ve felt in months.

So I have to reassess when I do the call so I can be healthy but also not disrupt your routines too much.

The point to all this babbling is that I imagine you all have routines. But have you ever wondered how your specific routine or routines impact other people?

Sometimes we go about our business without thinking of the second and third order effects. Let’s say you want to train for a marathon. That takes a lot of time away from home. If you have a spouse and maybe some kids, this training will impact not only your spouse but other family members too.

I’ll tell you that on my vol state podcast almost everyone with a family talks about needing to clear it with the family and how they themselves recognize it’s a selfish undertaking.

Perhaps we should be more cognizant of talking with others before we change or install a routine.

Again thank you for bearing with me during this adjustment period. I need to be as healthy as possible to give you the best of me.
